Show Business: So Proudly We Gross

Politics makes strange box office. A few years ago, the new wave in show
biz was the anti-Establishment rock musical Hair and its tribe of
imitators. Now comes the hyper-American backlash. George M! was a smash
on the road and appeared again as an NBC-TV adaptation. The film Patton
has grossed $9,000,000 in nine months. Last week the latest and most
patriotic show yet, a musical revue titled So Proudly We Hail, was
playing atof all places the Sahara Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip.
